Last week was a good week. David tried to pump out the well in the village of Dumonte and had all kinds of problems. The hole had caved in 10ft. The generator they took with them didn't want to start. Had to work on it before going further. Then there was so much mud to pump out that the electric clean out pump was clodded. Okay ....fixed all these problems and returned a second time for clean out. PTL! They pumped for several hours until it finally was clean enough to install the hand pump. Our guys said they filled at least 500 buckets while doing the clean out. They said they think the people in this village were happier and more excited than anywhere they have installed a well. David preached at TiTanyen this week. WOW...do we need more sitting space. Good problem to have. W ebroke ground on the new church... just trying to get all the paperwork cleared before starting construction.
This morning we also started 3 more new permanent homes on the church property in TiTanyen. We praise the Lord that people continue to have a vision for giving homes to those in need.
How much does it cost to build a house on the church property? I may be interested in raising funding for you to be able to build one, but would like to know more specifics. Please email me at ravae.erickson@hotmail.com when you have time (not that you have any extra!).
